Default Hello from Taunton

Hi

I'm Adrian from Taunton - I have recently started using film after using digital for the last 2 years.

I have an Olympus point & shoot film camera and a Nikon FM2 SLR.

Mainly shoot street photography but also like landscape & architecture.

It's good to find a UK based forum with an emphasis on film rather than digital

It's a mju III 120 - probably not as good as the stylus epic but it means that I can always carry a reasonable quality camera with me at all times that does not cost much.
I'm amazed at the quality of film equipment that can be purchased relatively cheaply and how the quality of construction far exceeds the modern day digital equivalents.
Before getting the FM2 my main camera was a D700 but looking at the two together I can see that the D700 does not have anything like the craftsmanship that went into the traditional fully manual film SLR cameras. I have never really liked having to rely on menus & LCD displays and the traditional film cameras do everything with physical controls only.
